Since version 2.8.7 the user can paste text at the prompt (with ^U),
but the ability to copy what is present at the prompt was overlooked.
For feedback, the cursor is moved to the start of the answer -- like
it moves to the start of the next line when in the edit buffer.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61702.

In most cases, the cursor will be at the end of what the user typed
at the prompt (or retrieved from history), and ^K will work as it
always did, erasing the whole answer. But if the user has moved the
cursor to somewhere in the middle of the answer, a ^K will now erase
just the part after the cursor. A second ^K will erase the rest.

Because doing the spotlighting after those extra keycodes have been
handled will most likely spotlight the wrong piece of text. Also,
if those keycodes hadn't arrived early, the first of them would have
cancelled the spotlighting.

Bug existed since version 5.8, commit 3f340836.
When a large piece of text was pasted into nano, then the old way of
repeatedly moving the buffered text one more position toward the head
of the keystroke buffer would waste a lot of time. With this change,
pasting the current NEWS file into a buffer goes down (on my machine)
from around 30 seconds to just 2.

Problem existed in this form since version 1.3.6, commit 7483571f.
When the user exits with ^X and gets warned that the file on disk
has changed, then typing ^C at the question whether to continue
saving should not discard the buffer and exit, but should return
the user to the filename prompt.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61883.

Bug existed since version 2.9.0, commit 217cfbf3.
For some reason, 'autopoint' (invoked by 'autoreconf') insists on
overwriting 'extern-inline.m4', even though the version from gnulib
is newer and contains a fix for a build issue on macOS with GCC 11.
So, do as the documentation says, and invoke 'autopoint' before
'gnulib-tool' (and call 'aclocal' to 'automake' afterwards).

And don't mention <Tab> for the 'indent' function, as the keystroke
is equivalent to M-} only when lines are marked.

The value of 'consumed' may not exceed the given 'length'.
Bug existed since version 2.9.3, commit e739448c.
(Bug was found by studying Fedora crash reports. Thank you, Fedora!)
The file contained two syntaxes (each of them fairly large) that are
useful only for Gentoo users. I don't think the file should have been
distributed with nano ever, as the syntaxes are just a dead weight for
the users of all other distributions.
That is: colorize text after a blank-plus-hash as a comment when there
is at least one non-hexadecimal character among the first three.
This relaxes the demand that a trailing comment should have a blank
after the hash too, as implemented by commit 90946c5e two weeks ago.
Make types a bluish green, for more contrast with strings, so that the
latter can be made greener, for more contrast with the yellow keywords.
Make the main keywords bluer and less bright, and unbold and soften the
yellow ones. Soften the comments too.
Reference for case-insensitivity:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-IDENTIFIERS
Also, colorize comments more readably (on a dark background), and
schemas less yelling, and languages more distinct from keywords.
And add a few more keywords, like IS and NULL.
Also, combine some keywords that can only occur together.
And drop a few that are probably rare, like LARGE OBJECT.
Reference:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/bookindex.html
And use a more readable color -- blue is too dark on a black base.
